Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem 5100

It is being used across our organization at this time. It addresses our cloud capacity and is cost effective. It is more efficient than what we previously had and is meeting the needs of our company and growing demand of customers.
  • Includes extra tools to optimize storage operations.
  • Simplifies storage management.
  • Optimum speed.
  • I feel like it’s entry level.
  • IOPS could be higher.
  • Cloud capacity has has kept up with our business needs for the last three years.
  • IBM Domain Name Services (DNS)
They have been used for different reasons so I can’t compare.
